smithj7 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Q2. God purposely created us with a good and natural sexual desire. How do we distinguish between that God-given sexual desire and forbidden lus+? God created men and women so that they could become one unit. For example, in Genesis 2:24 it says that a man will leave his father and mater and be united to his wife and become one wife. So within the boundaries of marriage sex isn't bad. Inside marriage it bounds husband and wives together. But anything outside is not good according to God's love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lory Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 God purposely created us with a good and natural sexual desire. How do we distinguish between that God-given sexual desire and forbidden lus+? 1.The difference between God given sexual desire and forbidden lus+: God created pleasure. Pleasure was intended to be good, not use for selfish desires or worngful acts. When God is at the center of our relationship, God's love is present, it's a love that cherishes, a love that is mutual, a love that is kind and giving. It's God who creates a wonderful joy and blessed union between the man and a woman. This love is not what you see with your eyes, it's what you feel and experience in your heart for your mate wih God at the center. The forbidden lus+ seeks out all things through its eyes, never through the eyes of God, it desires what it wants and sees what it likes. Satan uses lus+ for his purpsoes. Lus+ will fool you, it's one objective is to satisfiy it's cravings of the flesh, and only for the flesh. There is no love in the flesh, only selfishness, the flesh doesn't care who it hurts as long as it gets what it wants. The lus+ will lead you into the places of diseases, unwanted pregnancy, guilt, broken relationships, pain, etc. God's blessings, Lory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimOtt Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Q2. God purposely created us with a good and natural sexual desire. How do we distinguish between that God-given sexual desire and forbidden ****? God gave us all a healthy sexual appetite as that is the way that the human species (and other species for that matter) survives. Without sex, and sexual desire, there wouldn't be children and the human race would cease to exist. I am going to make this sound like a broken record....but....the distinguishing factor between the two types is that forbidden **** is that outside the bonds of holy matrimony as set forth and ordained by God.

royk Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Q2. God purposely created us with a good and natural sexual desire. How do we distinguish between that God-given sexual desire and forbidden lus+? Any kind of sex between man and woman that is not proceed by a long period of knowing each other outside the relm of sexual contact risks to be short termed relationship. If a person doesn't have time to learn the partner is a non sexual context, the relationship can end up shipwrecked in a few years when one partner decides to try out another outside the bond that was established on **** and desire. If one is of the **** first habbit, why limit onself to one wife, when there are so many women to try out? Heaven help us!!! As the text says this will lead to a n unstable societe if everyone is focusing on short term ****, there is not sincere time for family and children.

home4ed Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Q2. God purposely created us with a good and natural sexual desire. How do we distinguish between that God-given sexual desire and forbidden lus+? God-given sexual desire I think sort of catches you unaware. It's at that point what you do with it that it becomes ****. ****, generally speaking will have only your own will in mind verses "God-given sexual desire" will put the other's will first. Even in marriage sinful **** occurs when we don't allow our spouse a "choice" in the matter or put seeking our own pleasure first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesDennis Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Q2. God purposely created us with a good and natural sexual desire. How do we distinguish between that God-given sexual desire and forbidden lus+? Good and natural sexual desire is characterized by love to a person of the opposite sex within the bounds of marriage.

Melvin Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Q2. God purposely created us with a good and natural sexual desire. How do we distinguish between that God-given sexual desire and forbidden ****? When 'attracted', the real survivor must ask himself or herself the question: "Am I willing to dedicate the rest of my life to this person and wait until we are wed to take them to bed for the first time?". Also, this is a definate subject which demands the wise counsel of someone or several someones who are trusted and respected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highohfaith Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Q2. God purposely created us with a good and natural sexual desire. How do we distinguish between that God-given sexual desire and forbidden lus+? God created natural sexual desire so as one man and one woman would be betrothed, become as one ( never to separate - one union), and produce Godly children. The only distinguishment is when one desires sex with his wife/husband in a natural, non perverted way and for the purpose of procreation then it is not a sin in God's eyes.

Raph Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Q2. God purposely created us with a good and natural sexual desire. How do we distinguish between that God-given sexual desire and forbidden ****? We distinguish between that God-given sexual desire and forbidden **** in that, sexual desire is natural for a man or woman but such desire should not make a person to desire to have sex with the other who is not a spouse. Forbidden **** in the other hand is a desire to have sex with a man/woman who is not your wife/husband. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnj Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 The question may ask more of me than I am able. "How do we distinguish........?" I can't, on my own, answer without involving my sinfullness and selfishness. Suppose I'd make a bad judge. The written Word is clear and there is nothing I could add except to take away from God's command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgandy Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 It is healthy to have a good sexual desire. However, this desire is within the confines of marriage. A man and a woman when married share this special bond that is unique and most fulfilling within the marriage bed. Forbidden **** is not with your marriage partner nor within a marriage. When **** occurs without marriage it needs to be pushed from the mind and removed from your sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebLam3teach Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 The way we distinguish between God-given sexual desire and forbidden **** is how the sexual drive will be satisfied: either within the confines of marriage or outside of marriage. Within the confines of marriage, the sex drive is good and healthy; outside of marriage, even though sex is enjoyable, painful consequences will result in the long run.

JoanG Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 The actual truth of this question is this: forbidden **** is anything and everything outside of marriage.

MosesSole Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 On 12/19/2007 at 10:09 PM, Pastor Ralph said: Q2. God purposely created us with a good and natural sexual desire. How do we distinguish between that God-given sexual desire and forbidden lus+? God approved sexual desire is one that is formed between a married couple for the purpose of having children. The reason obviously is for a husband and his wife to desire each other for the fulfillment of a happy marriage. All other sexual desires that fall outside of the boundaries of the marriage covenant, would be considered a sinful act, and not likely to be approved by God.

Niyonka16 Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 Q2. God purposely created us with a good and natural sexual desire. How do we distinguish between that God-given sexual desire and forbidden ****? ANSWER: The difference between healthy desire and forbidden **** is: One wants to consume, self-gratify, and discard. The other invites intimacy. It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate **** like the pagans, who do not know God God purposely created us with a good and natural sexual desire. Satan cannot create. He comes up with nothing original. Our sexual desires did not originate from the enemy; they originated from God Himself when He created us in His image.

Lisa Wolf Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 Q2. God purposely created us with a good and natural sexual desire. How do we distinguish between that God-given sexual desire and forbidden lus+? We distinguish between God-given sexual desire and forbidden **** by checking to see if our thoughts are in-line with God's boundaries. We know His protection closes the door to evil; we are foolish to open any doors that allow evil into our thoughts and lives. God designed sexuality to be fulfilled within marriage. Hebrews 13:4, "Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral."
